History & Origin

Krystyne is a respelling of Kristine, a form of Christine from the Greek Christos, 'anointed'. The taste for y-spellings peaked in the late twentieth century, and Krystyne is one of the rarer results; the meaning is unchanged from the classic parent.

It was never common, given to only about sixteen girls a year at its peak in the early nineteen-nineties. A girl named Krystyne then is in her thirties today.
